Sorry if this is out of the scope of this forum but I would appreciate the help on this.

I am not very familiar with the workings of AJAX but I would like to know if the following can be accomplished.

I am working on a module workflow that is a link that loads content thumbnails specific to that user. We can do this quite easily using a 'ctl' parameter but that would open a page with no only the modules content correct?

What I would rather see happen is that the module loads the thumbnails within the module bounds on the page it resides. I know AJAX is ment for loading content without pageback so could this be done?

Thanks in advance for the help

Mark, I would check out the intro videos on asp.net ajax here: http://www.asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/

They give a pretty good overview of how to use an update panel, and they also introduce you to some of the controls in the asp.net ajax control toolkit.

Don't navigate to other module controls using EditURL (aka the ctl query string parameter).  Either do everything in one control (using AJAX or not) or do something like the Events module does and loads the module controls into the "main" control based on it's own criteria.  See Events.ascx.vb in the Event module source code for most of the code that does this.

You say you would like to use Ajax so I am presuming the data loading occurs after a user action like clicking a button. In that case you do not need to know anything about Ajax to make it happen in Dotnetnuke. Make sure the control does not do a redirect when the button is clicked but that it performs a postback. Then just go to the ModuleDefinition for your module and edit it´s View control. There you select "Supports partial rendering". What this does is place the entire content of your module inside an Ajax update panel. All controls that do a postback will now perform an Ajax call and your results are loaded without reloading the entire page.
